Email sent after Do until expires

If you have a Do until loop that hasn't satisfied its condition before the end of its timeout period, is there a way to send an email to a user that the Flow has failed?

 

Thanks,

Anne

    @annetoal ,

    You can check after the do until action, if the condition is fulfilled or not. If not it means that the do until was ended either the timeout limit was reached or the execution number was reached. 

    This is what I have in mind.

    @annetoal ,

     

    Try This:

    1. initializing a variable called "SendEmail". Make it a boolean and set the default value to true
    2. then in your do until loop add an action to set the variable SendEmail to false() if the condition is met.
    3. lastly, create a condition after your do until loop to check if SendEmail is true. If so, send email

    If tried using the run after conditions when an action fails or times out, but they don't work on a do until loop
